Former Federal prosecutor Joyce Vance is a strong advocate FOR televising this trial, and I totally agree with her:

Former Federal prosecutor Joyce Vance is a strong advocate FOR televising this trial, and I totally agree with her:
"Finally, cameras in the courtroom. Chief Justice Roberts could ensure these proceedings were made publicly available. He can order that there be cameras in the courts. And he should. That final charge makes it clear that we are all victims of this crime. We have the right to watch the proceedings."
And Vance twice quotes brilliant US Attorney Joyce Alene on X/Twitter:
"I'll say it again. The Chief Justice must authorize televising Trump's trial on charges connected to his attempts to interfere in the outcome of the 2024 election. Justice demands it."
"Chief Justice Roberts should immediately amend the rules to permit cameras in federal courts. The American public is entitled to watch the proceedings against Trump in their entirety. Anything less would be an injustice."
But Proud Boys and their allies will watch too and can easily be exhorted to violence. Trump and his lawyers may already have a plan and have military and police cooperation. Better to have reporters and artists plus film from the 1/6 Committee.
Part of the reason it took 2 years to reach today's DOJ indictment of tRump's conspiracy to overthrow our election was that Garland et al had to flip all the little insurrectionists first, thereby also capturing, disarming, and neutralizing tRump's Brown Shirt Brigade. My Proud Boy neighbor isn't marching anywhere these days. We, The people, All of Us This Time, need to see and hear the tRump trial.

Let 'em try it. The Feds will be waiting.
ll the better. Smoke 'em out.
No what? I don't understand what you're referring to.
Neither do I. Thanks for pointing out my inadvertant glibness. Will delete.
